Default Tint on your headlights/taillights

Ive seen these stick on tint kits on ebay and Im thinking about giving them a try. Im looking at the red tint for some 94-97 integra taillights. I was just wondering how well this stuff works. So if anyone has any pics of there tinted headlights or taillights post em up, and also any application tips.

*update.

I purchased some tint from the above link and will be giving it a try shortly on my integra. And if it goes well Ill do my 91 crx's taillights too.

I've heard about crappy quality tints sold over ebay, but personally, I'm not sure about this. If you do happen to get the red tint make sure it's only for the brake lights on your taillights if you're regularly driving this thing on the streets. It's illegal to have red turn signals or headlights.

Hmmm might work but if it doesnt its only 15$ or whatever right. Personally i would just keep your eyes peeled for a cheap set of 98+ tails that float around on here.

What about a '98-'01 Integra? I know that near all GM cars have red turn signals as well.

To the creator, go to your local hobby store and they should have some spray tint stuff for pretty cheap. That **** works way good if you make sure to do a good prep and lay on a couple of good coats.

ok let me be a little more specific for you nit-picky a-holes lol

i was saying bad idea to have your headlights red or front turn signals red...no red in the front. as for as the tails go of course the rear end of the car can be red...think about it...pretty obvious isn't it???

I had smoked corner lenses and was even going to to my headlights for some retarded reason but i never had any issues. They just didnt look good illuminated. My recommendation is to never smoke anything! Yellow tint usually turns out ok and blue on rare occasions red maybe but everyone usually regrets smoking accesories lol. Forewarning

i cut my own lil tint film for my headlights and taillights out of some type of vinyl i got from a local plastic shop/store, whatever they're called. I've had them on for years and they still look good as new.
